The staff at TAMIC is particularly experienced in the confocal imaging of biological specimens and engineered tissues. Additionally, the laser excitation and photodetection schemes are optimized for label-free functional imaging of live cells and tissues. The centerpiece of the imaging center is a pair of Leica SP8 confocal/multiphoton microscopes.

TAMIC is supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives' Office of Research Infrastructure Programs, and from the National Science Foundation Major Instrumentation Research grant.
